On information and belief, Defendants have re-sold and are re-selling Trader Joe s products at significantly higher prices than Trader Joe s charges for the same products. 0. In addition to the re-sale of TRADER JOE S-brand products in their store, Defendants have engaged in other conduct that misleads and deceives consumers into falsely believing that Pirate Joe s and/or Transilvania Trading have been authorized or approved by Trader Joe s. For example, Defendants have placed a sandwich board outside of their retail store containing the phrase We Sell Trader Joe s! A sticker bearing the phrase I [heart] TJ is affixed to the back of Defendants cash register.

Among these, Trader Joe s also mandates temperature requirements for its fresh, frozen, and other sensitive food product categories. For example, frozen foods must be kept at temperatures below 0 degrees Fahrenheit and refrigerated products between and degrees Fahrenheit.. In addition to their unpermitted and deceptive use of Trader Joe s trademarks and other source-identifying elements, Defendants unauthorized resale of Trader Joe s products including frozen food products and other perishable items is conducted outside the scope of Trader Joe s stringent quality-control standards as well as its established product recall practice.. Defendants continued infringement thus creates a material risk that consumers who purchase TRADER JOE S-brand food products that have been transported to Canada by Defendants will be harmed by receiving dangerous or defective goods. Indeed, Trader Joe s is aware of at least one customer who became ill after consuming a frozen food product purchased from Defendants.. Defendants continued infringing conduct and re-sale of Trader Joe s products at significantly higher prices also creates a material risk that Defendants customers will mistakenly believe that Trader Joe s charges higher prices for its products, contrary to Trader Joe s reputation for offering high-quality, affordable groceries..
